Happy Monday! Hope the weekend was a good one. Violet got to meet some of more of our friends this weekend, and the stars aligned on Sunday so I could run outside (the weather was good and my husband was free to watch Violet)! Either bad weather or not having someone to watch Violet has […] more

Its funny how time seemed to pass so slowly during pregnancy but is speeding by now – here we are already 10 weeks post-delivery! Time flies when you’re having fun with this little one 🙂 Here’s where things stand from a fitness perspective. I’m back to running and back to strength work again too. I’m […] more

As previously promised, today’s post focuses on short core routines you can easily tack onto the end of a cardio session or strength session. Just doing some crunches after your workout is not a sufficient core routine (as previously stated I’m not a fan of crunches). A good core routine will target not just your abs […] more

Today’s workout my first with no walking – just 30 minutes of continuous running. I’m finally a runner again! Here’s how I progressed over the last 3.5 weeks from walk/running to running: I felt this plan worked well as I never felt any soreness or fatigue and ended every workout feeling like I could have […] more

It’s very easy to keep track of your step count these days considering the recent explosion of pedometers and accelerometers onto the fitness market. I […] more

Violet, my once tiny little newborn, is growing way too fast. Her three month clothes are borderline too short now! That’s a 3-month outfit and her toes reach the end! As for me, I’m feeling back to 100% health. The main factor that has helped in my faster-than-expected recovery is her AMAZING sleeping habits. I […] more

My walk-run transition program back into running had me reminiscing the other day about how I followed a similar progression when I first starting running nearly 10 years ago at the end of college. Up until then my workouts consisted of walking, stationary cycling, and the elliptical plus strength training but no running. Some friends […] more
